Extruded Aluminum Heatsinks in 2023
Extruded aluminum heatsinks are made by heating aluminum to the point of a semi-solid state. Then this aluminum is pushed (extruded) through an extrusion die. These aluminum forms have the profile of the die it was pushed through, much like the play dough toy extruder. The simple shapes are stars or circles. These forms are cut to the length needed.
Aluminum Heatsinks that are extruded typically have a flat bottom and ribs on the top. They can be extruded in lengths of several feet an cut to shorter lengths. Because these extruded aluminum heatsinks were formed by pushing through a die, there is a limitation on details that can be formed on the top and bottom surfaces. If a depression is needed to mount components then it will need to be machined into the part as a pocket as an after operation, dramatically increasing the part cost. More typically, if holes are needed for mounting, they too will need to be machined into the parts as a secondary operation. Any other holes needed so wires or components can pass through have the same limitation.
The Aluminum Die Casting Process injects metal into a mold or die that forms the top, bottom and sides. Mounting holes, through holes and cavity indentations formed into the part are in the die halfs on the top and bottom. Aluminum Die Casting Heatsinks will have all the features necessary for installing the components and the holes for mounting during the original manufacturing operation. Die casting heatsinks will not require secondary operations for holes and features.

What is the Aluminum Die Casting Process?
Aluminum die casting is a manufacturing process used to create parts and components made of aluminum. The process involves injecting molten aluminum into a mold or die cavity under high pressure. Once the aluminum solidifies and cools, the mold is opened, and the part is removed.
The aluminum die casting process typically involves the following steps:
Tooling design: The first step is to design the mold or die cavity to create the desired part. The tooling design must take into account the size, shape, and complexity of the part, as well as the material properties of aluminum.
Melting: The aluminum is melted in a furnace and brought to the desired temperature.
Injection: The molten aluminum is injected into the die cavity at high pressure using a piston or plunger. This ensures that the aluminum fills the mold completely and uniformly.
Solidification: The molten aluminum solidifies and cools quickly in the die cavity, taking on the shape of the mold.
Ejection: Once the part has cooled and solidified, the mold is opened, and the part is removed from the die cavity.
Trimming and finishing: The part may require additional trimming or finishing to remove any excess material or imperfections.
Aluminum die casting is a highly efficient and precise process that allows for the creation of complex parts with tight tolerances. It is used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and consumer products.

What is the Difference between “Low Pressure” and “High Pressure” Die Casting Parts in 2023?
High Pressure Die Casting Parts. What is the difference between “Low Pressure” and “High Pressure” Die Casting Parts?
Kinetic Die Casting Company makes high pressure die casting parts. The term “Die Casting”, in the USA means a high pressure process whereas in Europe it means a low pressure manufacturing process.
High Pressure Aluminum Die Casting? High pressure die casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal (aluminum) is injected with a die casting machine under force using considerable pressure into a steel mold or die to form products. …. READ MORE: High Pressure Die Casting

Low pressure die casting is similar to sand casting. Gravity is used fill the molten metal into the mold. This process is much slower, about five minutes or more per part (less than 100 parts per day) than high pressure die casting (more than 500 parts per day), about a part every minute. The part cost for high pressure die casting is much less than low pressure die casting.
